The UEFA Champions League Round of 16 continues today with two matches, including Tottenham Hotspur vs Juventus and Manchester City vs. Basel. Both games will air at 2:45 ET and can be streamed via BT Sport App and the Fox Soccer MatchPass, but only one is really worth watching.
Juventus enters today's match at Wembley Stadium as a favorite, despite Tottenham's home field advantage. In the first leg in Turin, the two teams played to a 2-2 draw after Juventus jumped out to a two goal lead.

According to soccer legend Frank Lampard, Juventus midfielder Blaise Matuidi, who missed the first matchup, could be the difference maker in today's showdown at Wembley.
"He has great energy and gets all over the pitch. That will be crucial at a ground like Wembley. He can link the game and has a lot of attributes that were sorely missed by Juventus in the first game.
"It will be great to see him battle it out with Mousa Dembele in the middle of the pitch."
As for the matchup between Manchester City and Basel, it's much less of a mystery who will advance. Man City comes in to today's game at Etihad Stadium having beaten Basel 4-0 in Switzerland in the first leg and will surely cruise to the final eight. No team has ever progressed to the next round following a 4-0 home defeat in the first leg of a Champions League knockout tie.
